So scientists are warhammer orcs?
What do you even mean? Obviously, you are washing off all the bacteria that is in the soil and the bugs. It doesn't make it sterile, but rinsing makes the overall amout of bacteria significantly lower....

From now on, I will spend the 2.5 seconds that it takes me to recycle on dismantling capitalism.

You cannot just put aside your personal responsibility just by pointing a finger at someone who's causing more pollution.
Yes, private jets are very bad and should be banned. Yes, corporations are major players in pollution and should be heavily regulated. Yes, there is a ton of rich people each causing more pollution than entire cities.
Meanwhile, I can still try to introduce more vegetarian meals to my diet.

Yes, my personal waste is dwarfed by waste of large organization...
Yes, the solution is in regulations and criminalization of polution by corporation.
But you should still recycle.

Of course, one should do as much as they can and mainly vote and push the government for regulation. I just don't think, that this infographic does a good job of communicating the information. You should recycle regardless of the impact size compared to not having a child.
If you look at it as something that can be used as propaganda all it seems to accomplish is shifting the blame to families with multiple kids and low-income households that cannot buy electric cars.

I find it hard to believe such graphics and because it's annual I think it's quite misleading. Replacing lightbulbs has a low impact, but they will last years. During that time it will have the same impact as if you switch to a plant-based diet for a year. Some items are one-time investments that will have a lasting effect while others are everyday struggles with comparatively low effects related to the effort required. Furthermore, this creates a feeling that some actions are nearly meaningless. Some may say I am childless so I can fly 3 times a year and have a lower impact than this family with two kids.
I think you would be surprised how much math used in physics is used in economics and then there is statistics which is heavily used in both.

Isnt growing hemp legal almost everywhere?
One more note about safety when it comes to open source or FOSS, is that you should use only the main repository and distributions provided by the official team. Often people clone existing repo, insert malicious code and publish it as their app on play store etc.

It reminds me how Imgur is often discussing images that were uploaded for Reddit and OP will never know about all the comments.

Suggestions for simple card game
I am looking for a simple card game that would be fun for the elderly and at the same time would break the monotony of traditional card games, that they are currently playing. Preferably something internationally popular so it is easy to buy in the EU.
Edit: Thanks everyone. I bought The Crew and noted a lot of other games. Hope it will go well :)

What are the things you dislike about R?
I will start:
a) as.Date("2022-Jul-01", format ="%Y-%b-%d") will or will not work depending on os language

TIL platypuses glow under blacklight

The fur of the platypus glows under a blacklight—a finding that raises questions about its role in these strange mammals.


YSK that first aid changed quite a bit in the last few years, so if haven't done training recently, you should!

Learn first aid with education resources, advice and courses from the British Red Cross, including first aid at work.

Why YSK: there has been quite a development in the first aid medicine and some things we used to learn are now regarded as myths and should be avoided. Anyway it always good to, keep your first aid knowledge up to date.
